If there's one thing writers love, it's talking about our writing. Don't lie - I know you do it's okay though because I'd love to hear a bit about what you're working on.
Right now ... I'm working on some flash (it might end up a short) that started out as a story about an old French man and a little boy. Then I realized most of my characters have been Caucasian males lately and the story actually works better in a Latin culture so I'm completely redoing it. And it's so much better!
Now, it's about a Mexican old lady that runs a panaderia (a bakery)... She manages to convince a little girl that her pan dulce is magical. The little girl learns a lesson in hope and it's about pan dulce. Yummy yummy conchas y tortugas. The puerquitos de piloncillo too, but you'd have to be crazy to prefer those to conchas or the big pink cookies... even corn biscuits are better. And now I'm just rambling about food .... moving on!
I've written a few Latino characters before but this is the first piece I've ever written with Spanish. And it has a happy ending which I haven't done in quite some time. Trying new things.
How about you? What have you been up to?
Edit: It occurred to me that some of you might not know what the heck I'm talking about so I thought I'd share a few pictures.
Conchas (Shells)
Puercos (pigs)
Tortugas (turtles)
